He’s Mr. Inconsistency. He’s got some handle, and a pretty good post-up game, with some nifty around the basket moves, but if he’s not the focal point of the offense, he tends to simply disappear. He’s got to find a rhythm early on in the season and at the very least find his 05-06 form in order for the Suns to be legitimate contenders.
